X-Men: First Class

After a long time of 2 bad X-Men movies, we get a really good X-Men movie again. I've never actually watched this movie before until recently. And I thought it was pretty good X-Men movie. I'd rank it as the 3rd best X-Men so far. What's the story? It start with the same opening as the first X-Men movie with Erik as a young boy in the camps and discovering he has mutant powers to control metal. But it's shown that afterwards he was brought to another mutant named Shaw who wants him to move a coin or else he'll kill his mother. Erik tries to move the coin but Shaw shoots his mother and he gets really angry and he begins to move everything in the room metal. We also see Charles as a boy who meets Raven/Mystique and over the next few years they grow-up together. When they're all adults, Charles is named a professor and is given a job to use his powers to test a machine called Cerebro with another mutant named Hank McCoy, A.K.A Beast. Also one night Erik is trying to kill Shaw as revenge for killing his mother. However he almost drowns by doing so but Charles saves him. Some time later some mutants are locked-up like Raven, Hank and a few others. Then Shaw infiltrates the place to try and recruit them. One does join him and one dies when Shaw shows that he's a mutant too with the ability to absorb energy. When Charles and Erik arrive and see what Shaw's done and decide they need to fight him. And with that we get a really entertaining scene when they're all training. So what's good about this movie? Well I love the cast. The best ones being James McAvoy as Charles and Michael Fassbender as Erik. They do some of my favourite Marvel performances ever. However I never really got into the movie until after the scene when Charles saves Erik, but it wasn't bad, I just thought the rest of the movie after it was just a lot better. My favourite part of the whole film is the ending with the fight and the scene when we see how Charles lost his feeling in his legs. Watch.

Another thing I like is the way they portray Beast. I think he's portrayed the best here next to his role in Days of Future Past. Mystique is also portrayed really well here and you can sort of sympathise with her in this with what she has to deal with. And I also like the other X-Men who are helping out at the end. And Shaw actually is a really cool villain I really like him at the end and the way he dies is awesome and ironic. And it explains how Erik got the helmet to keep out telepathic attacks and mind control. And actually Logan is in this for a split second and it's hilarious. Watch.

So yeah, I hate the 2 movies that came out before this but this film saved it by having a good story, good acting, good action and a good ending. It is great definitely check it out if you have the time.
